A NEW GENUS OF HYPOG/EIC ANTS FROM TEXAS. 143 nally rugose than the head ; mesonotum subopaque, with a smooth, shin- ing band down the middle and along each parapsidal furrow ; with the exception of these regions the whole surface is covered with large elongate- elliptical foveolae, the spaces between which are more finely punctate and raised into indistinct longitudinal rugae. Paraptera and scutellum shining, with transversely elliptical foveolae which are almost absent in the middle of the latter sclerite. Mesopleurae shining and foveolate like the mesonotum. Surface of metanotum irregularly foveolate and in addition covered with fine, more or less longitudinal rugae. Epinotum very opaque, densely punctate above and longitudinally rugose below. In the region between the teeth and the ridges running backwards and downwards from them, the surface is crossed by rather coarse transverse rugae. Convex dorsal surface of petiole very smooth and shining, finely and sparsely punctate and with a few round foveolae which are most numerous along the posterior. FIG. 4, ILrebomyrma Longii sp. nov.

Postpetiole above in the middle shining, with sev- eral round foveolae, which on the sides become prolonged backwards so that the surface has a somewhat grooved appearance ; lower surface opaque and densely punctate like the lower surface of the petiole. Gaster shining, the segments smooth and very finely and sparsely punctate at their bases but more opaque and evenly reticulate along their distal borders. In ad- dition to this sculpturing there is a small cluster of impressed reticula- ti
